Has any teacher used Niche - A Genetics Survival Game?

I'm a secondary education student with an upcoming project on a technology/game/program/app that can be integrated into a classroom. We are exploring the efficacy of said tech being used as a learning tool and writing a report about it.

For my project, I was looking at a game that I used to play called "Niche", and it's essentially a game that models inheritance and population genetics. You control and breed these cute animal characters but you want to manage your growing population in terms of food, resources and genes. I would use this in the context of a high school biology classroom. I'm also supposed to find feedback online from other teachers who have used the tech before but I guess the game is fairly niche as there isn't a lot that I could find.

If any teacher/educator has used the game to help with teaching or just to illustrate for a classroom, what was your experience like?
